What DSLR should I buy?

Well, I personally shoot with Nikons and I would highly recommend them! I currently use a Nikon D300 which goes for around £900 for the body only. It's an incredible camera! It has a 51-point area focus with 3-D tracking... which is amazing for sports photography... and I imagine it would be very useful for Formula 1 photography! You can learn more about the different features here http://www.europe-nikon.com/product/en_GB/products/broad/1436/overview.html If you're looking for something less expensive, the new Nikon D90 is less than £900 with a lens. What sets this camera apart from other DSLRs is that it shoots video as well as still photos.

Many people said canon and Nikon are good camera. That's right. However why not give a try to Pentax and Panasonic too? Pentax K200D and Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 are in the "top camera" category.

I just bought a Canon Eos 1000D last week, and i bought and extra 200mm lense, I too am hoping to do a course on how to use it although the instuction booklet that came with it seems quite easy to understand plus i downloaded some ectra instructions from the Canon website and hopefully will be getting a free camera bag that I sound on their site as i bought the camera within the promotional date listed...just in by two days....so far sitting on automatic I love this camera...
